Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Classes

Ages 6-13

Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Training for Children (Gracie Lineage)

Bujutsu Martial Arts and Fitness Centre has also developed a BJJ class that caters for children aged 6 to 13.
Whilst our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes focus on teaching ground fighting skills, what makes our BJJ program different is the self-defence skills we teach. Not only do we teach the sport side of BJJ, but we also focus on teaching how BJJ can be used for self-defence purposes.
As well as building self-confidence and discipline, our classes build strength, fitness and co-ordination.
Our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is led by Sensei Mark who has been involved in the martial arts industry since 1987.

The grades issued by Bujutsu are internationally recognised and in line with the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Graduation System.

Kid's Martial Arts Programs

Sensei Mark also worked as a Senior Youth Worker for 10 years and has been working with children for over 25 years.

Key Benefits

Benefits of Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

CONFIDENCE TO STAND TALL

Confidence is a bully's biggest deterrent. Kids in BJJ build belief in themselves through skill progression and personal challenges. They learn to speak assertively, hold strong posture, and stay calm in uncomfortable situations-all of which help them stand up to bullies without resorting to aggression or fear.

RESPECT & HUMILITY

BJJ fosters mutual respect from day one. Kids learn to train with partners, listen to instructors, and stay humble regardless of skill level. This mindset promotes empathy and maturity, helping children manage social conflicts more peacefully and with emotional intelligence.

CONTROL WITHOUT VIOLENCE

Students are taught to control opponents without hurting them-key in handling physical bullying. By using technique over strength, children can defend themselves calmly and effectively, minimizing risk to both themselves and others. This non-violent approach aligns with real-world anti-bullying values and school safety guidelines.

EMOTIONAL STRENGTH
& RESILENCE

Through regular training, kids learn how to deal with stress, frustration, and fear. BJJ gives them a healthy outlet for emotions while building resilience the ability to recover quickly from setbacks. These mental tools are just as important as self-defense when facing bullying or peer pressure.
